CarLynn is finally with us! She is so precious and bright! She is very inquisitive of things and orderly. We sent her a box earlier this fall and she has a few of the items we sent her that she doesn’t let out of her sight- her purse, her bracelet, and her doll. Our Wal-Mart trip was eventful. CarLynn grabbed a Snickers bar of which she wouldn’t let go. We ended up with Snickers for her and some Chinese chocolate candy for CyLynn. We also saw raw meat sitting on ice in the store. The workers opened the meat packages to pour them out on the ice! CarLynn’s first meal with us showed her great appetite. She had no trouble shoveling food into her mouth! In the evening, we were privileged to go to a Chinese dwelling. Our tour guide allowed us to visit her house where she lives with her parents. It is most common to live in apartments. They don’t have elevators and she lived on the fifth floor. The apartments she lived in were only 16 years old, but appeared to be 80 years old! They were really run down and poor. Going up the outside stairs, there was firework trash left. She told us they use them for funerals and weddings. Her father was very grateful to have us come visit and enjoyed sharing opinions about the comparisons of our two countries.
